Genetic approaches have revealed more than 50 genes involved in the delivery of soluble zymogens like carboxypeptidase Y (CPY) to the lysosome-like vacuole inSaccharomyces cerevisiae. At least 20 of these genes function in transport between the prevacuolar endosome-like compartment (PVC) and the vacuole. To gain biochemical access to these functions, the authors developed a cell-free assay that measures transport-coupled proteolytic maturation of soluble zymogensin vitro. A polycarbonate filter with a defined pore size is used to lyse yeast spheroplasts after pulse-chase radiolabeling. Differential centrifugation enriches for PVCs containing proCPY (p2CPY) in a 125,000gmembrane pellet and is used asdonormembranes. Nonradiolabeled spheroplasts are also lysed with a polycarbonate filter but a 15,000gmembrane pellet enriched for vacuoles is collected and used asacceptormembranes. When these two crude membrane pellets are incubated together with adenosine triphosphate and cytosolic protein extracts, nearly 50% of the radiolabeled p2CPY can be processed to the mature vacuolar form, mCPY. This cell-free system allows reconstitution of intercompartmental transport coupled to the function ofVPSgene products.
